So, ahead of time:• Set up a central communication hub
• Invite everyone in the company to get familiar with support tools.
• Make sure you have a system to get in touch with all of your customers, not just the ones on your newsletter list.
• Set up 2 factor authentication on GitHub and check your recent sessions for suspicious activity.
